3feathers

Nice job with the jigging..Tell me are Gobies now common in the lake????

Hearing the words floaters and swirlers being spotted in different areas of the lake kinda of scary, 1990's had the whirling disease scare..Lets hope its something alot less damaging..

Still not to late to get out and vote..Last poll had Cuomo ahead by over 20 points...

Thanks for pic of that sunrise LongLine...Best feeling in the world, to feel those sun rays hitting u on a cool morning..Can't believe this season is just about finished..Thanks again for sharing...

Going to Canada is probably the dream of most if not every freshwater angler..You didn't mention if you had a preference of 1 or 2 particular species to pursue...Money I guessing now mite be a problem..If it is then I'd check out location in southern Ontario..Or maybe something like the Ottawa River system in Quebec..Now if your willing to spend 1000.00 or more then north western Ontario would be my choice...Too many great places to name...But I'd strongly advise going the extra few hundred for a few days with a local guide....The more you want to fish without a guide the more I'd advise hitting a river system..Big lakes Like Rainy, Mil Lac, Eagle lakes are huge in size tough to figure where to start...French River a good choice, Ottawa also along with the Pickerel river offer good fishing..Most anglers here will have some great advice...But keep in mind a guide can make your trip..Believe me I've gone the route u want to pursue...Good luck Let us know your results..

Sorry here too Trout Bum, i also was referring to the Rockland show...

If you don't mind the travel, its a decent ride...I'd say go I've have been to at least 25 or them mostly when they 1st started as was mentioned earlier gets really crowed on weekends, so best be prepared to be patient if u go Sat or Sun..On the plus side some of the best Charter skippers on the east coast plus Alaska and BC will be there..Can't beat their info and conversation..Good cure for cabin fever..Lots from Big Lake O..Salt water guys full of helpful knowledge they mite even talk u into a spring striper trip go with the flow and you'll be ok..Have fun For got to mention great guides for all types of hunting there also..

I really don't think you'll have to worry about crossbow hunters getting together to form drives. as they are bulky to carry through the woods while on a drive...Also It would be more likely to shoot from a stand, as its killing range isn't much over 30 yds, and be almost impossible to cock it and get a 2nd shot... Besides NY and Pa have deer herds that actually could use some thinning out so a few extra hunters mite not be so bad...Consider this from what I've heard NY state is going to or already has started steriling the doe population..If thats true then u hunters will have numbers going down next couple years and not because of crossbow hunters.

I didn't think deer were that stupid to just walk up to a crossbow hunter and let hemselves get shot..But the compound hunter has to study, do push ups and get to in shape, then study all the moves the deer makes b4 they get a shot.. Something don't sound right there. ..Maybe the Pa deer aren't as smart as NY deer..Or maybe Pa hunters are just smarter..

Dom: I hear ya I like the change too, I'm thinking just about every outdoors man that travels to NY like it...NY is a great state to fish & hunt..I'm form NJ, traveled to NY for fishing mostly since 1964, my best days afield have passed me by now..But i luv hearing you fellas discuss tactics about fishing and whats going in NY from the outdoor world....Heres a question for you guys----I've asked in at least 6 states and never got an answer..Also I didn't ask it to be smart either..Does it cost more to raise the fish that I catch when I come to NY than the fish that the resident anglers catch..If cost is the same why does every state charge the non resident more..Just something to kick around....About cross bows, I asked years ago..Cross bows and long bows were around hundreds of years b4 compound bows were created...Why make crossbow illegal? I hear that the female hunters and aging male hunters like them in the states that have legalized them..I have this feeling they will be here to stay...
